U.S. Marshals Service 225th Anniversary 2015
Uncirculated Silver Dollar

This uncirculated silver dollar coin celebrates the 225th anniversary of the U.S. Marshals Service and honors those Marshals who have made the ultimate sacrifice in the line of duty. The uncirculated silver dollar’s theme is the American West and represents the now legendary role the U.S. Marshals had in the American West.

The obverse (heads) depicts the U.S. Marshals Service star and the silhouettes of deputies on horseback pursuing an unseen fugitive, symbolizing a famous posse so prevalent in the Old West. Inscriptions are “LIBERTY,” “1789 – 2014,” “IN GOD WE TRUST” and “2015.”

The reverse (tails) depicts a frontier U.S. Marshal leaning against a post, holding a “wanted” poster with the inscription “WANTED IN FT. SMITH.” Additional inscriptions are “JUSTICE INTEGRITY SERVICE,” “E PLURIBUS UNUM,” “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,” and “$1.”

The United States Marshals Service is the nation’s oldest federal law enforcement agency, having served the nation since 1789. Ensuring liberty and justice for the infant nation, the U.S. Marshals Service was formed when President George Washington signed the Judiciary Act into law in 1789. With a history woven around our Constitution, the U.S. Marshals Service continues, 225 years later, with the same principles of justice, integrity and service.
